eSUN eBox filament dryer review

eSUN eBox filament dryer box
When I got the first 3D printer and had only a few meters of demo filament, I didn't realize the purpose of a filament dryer like the eSUN eBox.

Sunlu 3D Enclosure
3D printers are like dust magnets; if you don't cover them with something in a few days, they will be covered by a fine layer of particles. Moving parts are greased with vaseline, from which the dirt is difficult to remove. The SUNLU 3D Printer Enclosure offers excellent protection against dust and water and provides the constant temperature required...
